In February I was given the opportunity to host the ABC – OC February luncheon and with the inspiration of my all time favorite movie Blue Valentine, I was able to plan and design a fun and edgy Valentine’s Day themed luncheon for all of the wedding coordinators of Orange County! The Monarch Beach Resort was the perfect venue for what I had envisioned, and the weather was even more beautiful. I am so excited to finally share this amazing event with all of you through this wonderful video by Emma Lynn Cinema. YAY!

Finally – a BIG thank you to all of the creative partnerships that I had the pleasure to work with for the ABC-OC February Blue Valentine Coordinator’s Luncheon! You all helped make this day a dream come true.

Janel and Williams Wedding was one for the books! One of the most genuine, and lovely couples we have ever had the opportunity to work with. We wish we could start all over and do it again! Even more exciting is that they are expecting a baby! Congratulations Janel & William!

Whether you’re planning a Tea Party, Engagement or Wedding… this is a timeless look!

1. Contemporary Jumpsuits : This may be a traditional garden setting, but we can make it contemporary. Jumpsuits are making their way into the bridal fashion industry more than ever! Add a day hat, and you are set!

2. Flowers for Favors : Make your guests feel special! This personal miniature bouquet on each place setting is just precious! The striped and textured table linen brings a modern flare to this traditional theme.

A Look For the Modern Rebel: This board brings inspiration from 2016 Fashion, Weddings, and Interior Design. It’s all about being a little on the edge, mixing textures of leather, chrome, furry accents, and modern touches.

2. Matching Sets : This 70’s trend has made a come-back and is in full force!

Why we should all love the matching sets trend:
• Less fuss on what top or skirt/pants/shorts to wear
• It can be done in any season
• They go for any occasion; It all depends on the lengths and styles.

3. Modern Geometric Wedding : We’ll always love classic, romantic weddings, but we’re starting to see a shift toward a more modern aesthetic. Even if it doesn’t work for your wedding day, it might be a fun theme for your bridal shower or engagement party. Feeling it?

4. Mixing Rustic with Mid-Century Modern : Don’t Judge a book by it’s cover! This spot is Bea Mombaers, Belgium’s Coolest Bed and Breakfast ! The inside is furnished with mid-century furnishings that are all for sale. While the inside may look modern, the structure itself and on the outside is a rustic villa.

5. Make it fun! : You can make your event stand out with fun and modern decor elements such as sunburst motifs, geometric forms, and summery red, orange, and gold hues.

An all time favorite movie of mine! The fact that Ryan Gosling is one of the main characters is just a bonus!

A Blue Valentine Inspired Wedding is for a couple that is youthful and full of passion! This mood board shows deep, rich colors contrasted by the light, and natural woods. I felt that copper would be a fitting metallic as it is associated with the matters of love & lust.

The month of love is here! Like any other holiday, K.Sage Events loves to get festive! These top picks are easy, affordable and highly recommended!

1. Smooched Balloons | Just add a little bit of DIY and a bunch of kisses…(POOF!) You have yourself some lovable balloons to jazz up any party or gift!

2. Night On The Town | Are you planning a hot date, a girls night out, or just feel like strutting your stuff? Well the Style-Oholic Site has some hot looks for you to choose just what’s right for you!

This trend consists of lots of peek-a-boos found along silhouette’s sides, underneath the neckline, and even on the skirts. These geometric cut outs can be found with or without the more modest lace inset.
